Chapter 182 The Promotion of Status
Until halftime, Stoiloff had no idea what to do.
Perhaps this is understandable. The opponents of the Premier League are analyzing Manchester City, playing style, tactics, cracking methods, etc., but when they really play against Manchester City, most of the teams are still very helpless. Sofia Levski is definitely not. The special one, Stoilov is not a savior-level coach, he can't crack Manchester City's tactics in a short time.
So Stoiloff could only let the team stick to the style of play, and especially told the formation not to be chaotic and the defense to be more stable. In addition, he also told the two forwards to stand higher in the second half, and the ball should be more stable. The team has to rely on quick counterattacks to find opportunities, and when appropriate, they will also make long passes from the backcourt.
This simple and direct play is often the most effective.
But in the second half, the situation did not improve much. Instead, Manchester City scored another goal in the opening game. Seeing this goal, Stoiloff felt that all his strength had been emptied. He watched the game with a blank look in his eyes, completely Somewhat overwhelmed.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he was really panicked.
That feeling is that no matter how hard he and his team try, they can't shake Manchester City at all, or even pose a slight threat to Manchester City's goal, which has always been in control, and whenever they attack, their own goal will cause extreme damage. A big threat, so that the team's defense will become confused, which also makes the goal more threatening.
Stoyloff knew the situation was bad, but the only thing he could do was watch, and there was nothing he could do to change the situation.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you lose the game directly.
Sofia Levski is not a strong team. They are the first Bulgarian team to enter the Champions League group stage. It is like the Chinese team entering the World Cup. Who still expects the Chinese team to win the Hercules Cup? Not to mention winning the championship, few people even expect the Chinese team to qualify for the group stage, and everyone just hopes they can score a goal. Don't lose too badly, that's all, Sofia Levski is the same, they are the underdogs in people's eyes, after the group is over. European media has made the definition - Sofia Levski is completely hopeless. So losing away to Manchester City is nothing at all.
But the key is the process of losing!
Don't talk about winning, Stoilov doesn't even see any hope of scoring a goal. This losing process is so desperate. Facing the strong Manchester City, Stoilov feels powerless and powerless. , Powerless... Then the problem is not only this game, will they have a chance next time they return to the Georg Asparukhov Stadium?
Although that game has not started yet. But Stoiloff had the answer in mind.
It's like that against Manchester City. What about Bayern Munich and Real Madrid? The situation cannot be judged concretely, but just by listening to the names of the two teams, with their fame, they should only be stronger than Manchester City, not weaker, right?
Stoiloff suddenly felt that he was a joke!
After the group was over, I was delusional about which group to qualify... In the face of such an opponent who even wanted to win three away games is a dream, how can Sofia Levski qualify? Sure enough, it was analyzed by the European media. This group deserves to be the real death group!
......
After Manchester City scored the third goal, there was little suspense in the game.
at Manchester Stadium. Manchester City fans all started to celebrate, although this was only the first round of the Champions League. It was Manchester City's first European competition in several seasons, and it was a Champions League match, so such a big win was something to celebrate.
Although the victory was expected, such a big victory is still hearty.
After this game, Manchester City fans are full of confidence in Manchester City qualifying, even if the opponents still have Bayern Munich and Real Madrid? They may not be able to beat Sofia Levski so easily at home, right?
They firmly believe that Manchester City is no worse than any other team!
However, it was too early for Manchester City fans to celebrate the victory, because Manchester City's goal was still not over. Before the end, taking advantage of a corner kick, taking advantage of the chaos in the penalty area, David Silva's kick helped Manchester City win Fourth goal.
"4:0! 4:0!"
"David Silva! David Silva!"
"David Silva scored another goal before the end, he scored twice! It was his first Champions League game and he played perfectly! In January of this year, David Silva has just passed his 20th birthday. Now he has helped Manchester City score two goals in the Champions League. In addition, in the Premier League, David Silva has also scored a goal. We can see that Ben He's been more consistent and better this season!"
"There is no doubt that he has a bright future and a bright future!"
"Like many other young players, David Silva is also a teenager excavated by Wansheng. He is from Spain. He was very immature when he first came to the team, but now, a year later, he is already an absolute center of Manchester City. The main force of the field, and now he is radiant on the field, just like the head coach Wan Sheng once commented, 'He will be a big star in the future!'"
"Now I dare to say that there is no need for the future. Now, he is already a big star of Manchester City!"
With the passionate commentary of Berbat on the radio, many fans shouted the name of David Silva, and many fans were shouting Wansheng, because David Silva was brought by Wansheng , Many outstanding players in the team are also brought by Wansheng, and Wansheng is the biggest contributor to Manchester City's ability to achieve this step.
From the bench, Ozil is looking at the pitch.
He and Boateng entered the team together, one midfielder and one defender, but the competition for defenders was more intense, so Boateng didn't make it to the squad, and he could sit here and watch the game and watch the scene on the field Ozil feels envious of David Silva. At the same time, he thinks that he is also in Manchester City, and he was brought to the team by Wansheng, and his experience is very similar to that of David Silva.
So at this time next year, will he have become the absolute main force of Manchester City?
Maybe that's too extravagant.
Even if you can play often, after all, Manchester City is the top team in the Premier League. If you can gain a firm foothold in such a team, you are already a player at the national team level.
When the time comes, the German national team will also open the door to itself?
Ozil immediately had great expectations, and he was determined to continue to work hard in training in the future, and listen to the guidance of his teammates and veterans. Do your best to make progress.
Compared with David Silva, Ozil also feels that he has the same advantage-David Silva only entered Manchester City at the age of 19 and a half, and he is not yet 18 years old. There must be more achievements. It will definitely be stronger than the brilliant David Silva on the court!
Thinking of these Ozil became more and more determined.
......
When the referee blows the whistle for the end of the game. The Manchester Stadium fell into a sea of cheers, and tens of thousands of Manchester City fans eagerly waiting for the end of the game broke out. Their shouts merged into a stream of heat that hovered over the stadium for a long time.
The voice of Berbat in the broadcast room resounded through the stadium, "The whole game is over! Manchester City won their first Champions League! 4:0, there was no suspense from the beginning to the end of the game, Sofia Levski was completely unable to fight back, Four goals. All clean!"
"This is Wan Sheng's first Champions League game. It's perfect!"
"Manchester City showed their image in the Champions League with a 4-0 - strong! Just like in the Premier League! A lot of people thought that City would be difficult to qualify for the Champions League group stage because Group G has Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but look After this game, how many people will still hold on to their opinions?"
"Wan Sheng said in the face of the media that Manchester City is very likely to qualify, and he showed great confidence, but this is considered by the European media to be 'arrogant', whether this is really the case. It still depends on the next step in Group G. The game, but we can be sure. Manchester City played perfectly in the first round, they got the three points cleanly!"
After that, Berbat talked about the Champions League group match that took place yesterday. In the Group G game, Bayern Munich defeated Real Madrid 2:0 at home, "Bayern Munich won 2:0, Manchester City won 4:0, the form of Group G is very clear. , Bayern Munich and Manchester City won and tied for the first place in the group, the outcome between the two teams will also be decided in the second round, we can start looking forward to the match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich!"
"..."
When Berbat spoke about the situation in Group G of the Champions League group stage, the cameras were already firmly aimed at Wansheng.
Some media and fans were amazed when they saw Wansheng's young face.
This Chinese is still so young, and he has already brought too many surprises to the Premier League. It seems that in the Champions League, Manchester City's results will also be worth looking forward to.
He is really amazing!
When he talked about qualifying from the group before, many people were very disdainful, but after watching this game, they would be shocked by the strength of Manchester City. What is even more shocking is that such a Manchester City was created by this young Chinese. .
So how much magic does he have yet to show? ?
......
That night, European media reported on the first round of the Champions League. Manchester City's 4-0 victory over Sofia Levski was commendable, but this was not the focus of the first round of the group match. As an underdog, Fsky itself is not worthy of attention. It is even said that this game is not the focus of Group G, because the collision of giants can attract more attention.
The focus in Europe is on Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
The game finally ended 0-2, Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich away, which could not help but remind people of the nightmare a season ago.
At the press conference after the game, the arrogant Capello had to admit that there was no chance for Real Madrid to win this game.
"Bayern Munich's physical fitness and tactical ability are very good. In terms of tonight's game, Bayern Munich surpassed us in an all-round way." Capello said, "We were too restrained in today's game. No chance to score. We had two good chances in the second half, but luck was not on our side today. We were almost useless in this game. Both technically and physically , Bayern Munich are far ahead of us."
"We made too many mistakes in defense and fell behind 2-0 shortly after the start, which made our next game very difficult, while the opponent could easily meet. Although we worked hard to organize and fall behind, but Our rhythm was too slow and there was a lack of change," Capello finally admitted. "Today in Munich, Real Madrid's nightmare in Lyon this season seems to be repeating itself."
The opening time of the Bundesliga is a week earlier than La Liga, which allows Bayern Munich to enter the peak of physical condition faster than Real Madrid, but the technical gap cannot be used as a prevarication for this reason.
Last season's Champions League defeat to Arsenal did not make Capello sober. The stubborn Italian still copied the tactical thinking of the previous two years at Juventus with two iron waists. But Real Madrid's personnel composition and Juventus are obviously very different. Nedved and Camoranesi can make Juventus' two wings take off, but Raul, who has been in a slump for a long time, and David Beckham, who is not good at running and assisting, cannot suppress the opponent's wings very well. With two midfielders who were basically not involved in the attack, Real Madrid suffered a serious loss in the midfield.
In fact, Real Madrid has a lot of talents on the sidelines, whether it is Reyes or Robinho, they are all generals on their own. Raul's long-term downturn has made Capello's endurance close to the extreme, but Raul will always be a fan favorite as the Real Madrid flag.
Capello to continue to use tactics, it is necessary to completely abolish Raul. Or change tactics. This is a difficult choice for Capello.
In their reports, many media expressed concerns about the situation of Real Madrid. "Marca" said after the game, "Real Madrid lost 0-2 to Bayern Munich in its Champions League debut this season, an ominous first half. Real Madrid's death sentence was already pronounced on the court. They were scored two goals in a row half an hour after the opening. The terrible defense and the only offense in name only made Capello's players satisfied that they didn't concede any more goals in the second half. After the break. Bayern Munich slowed down, but Real Madrid still couldn't make a threat up front."
"Marca" finally concluded. "Capello's side are lacklustre in the face of their first strong opponent of the season."
A review article in Aspen newspaper summed up Real Madrid's performance in this game as follows, "From Lusenberg to Capello, basically nothing has changed, Real Madrid strolled in Munich, and then was beaten by a better team, And the opponent has been merciful. Another year has passed, first Lyon, then Bayern, and Diarra, who was bought for 26 million euros, has become a dispensable role."
Then "Aspen" analyzed, "Real Madrid's road to its 10th Champions League trophy has been bad from the beginning, and they have been overwhelmed by the desire to win by a terrible and powerful enemy. Capello's fatal problem is that , his team has become blind flies, fighting indiscriminately. Therefore, the failure of this game is not an accident, but a downright lack of strength, which is the most painful thing."
In the end, "Aspen News" selected several typical characters of Real Madrid in this game, among which the frontal model is Casillas. Without his several wonderful saves, Real Madrid's fiasco would be even more unsightly. The negative model was identified as Cannavaro, while Diarra, who was worth 26 million euros, was characterized as an "indifferent character".
In an interview with reporters before the game, the Italian defender said that "winning in Munich" would be the best gift for his birthday, and Real Madrid is fully capable of bringing back 3 points from Munich. But after the game really started, Cannavaro found that his birthday was not good. In the 10th minute, Schweinsteiger made a second pass to the middle. Cannavaro made a fatal mistake of not marking closely. Roy - Ma Kai easily picked the ball over the head of Casillas, who was attacking.
20 minutes later, Cannavaro was humiliated for the second time by his opponent. After Bayern Munich scored in the penalty area of Real Madrid, Cannavaro flew and tackled Hargreaves, who was in possession of the ball. Violently, Hargreaves seized the opportunity, he calmly passed Cannavaro and passed it to Podolski, who scored easily.
In the Spanish Legion, the performances of Barcelona and Valencia made Spanish fans very proud, but only the ‘century giant’ Real Madrid held back with a complete defeat. The Madrid people were sighing, while the Barcelona people were very proud of it.
"World News" said, "0 to 2, Real Madrid was poured a pot of cold water in Munich. Bayern destroyed Real Madrid in the first half, and the defense built by Capello became a disaster. Cannavaro for his Mistakes took their toll and Casillas was always on high tension."
The Spanish sports network also called Real Madrid's failure "stupid and funny". In short, when Real Madrid was embarrassed, the pro-Barcelona media never lacked the voice of schadenfreude.
Bayern Munich's triumph is in stark contrast to Real Madrid's disappointment, which also has a lot to do with Manchester City.
Before the first round of Group G, everyone was optimistic that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid would join hands to qualify, but now looking back on the game between the two teams, Real Madrid was completely unable to fight back, so what would happen if Bayern Munich's opponent was replaced by Manchester City Sample?
This is a question mark, but many people feel that even if Manchester City lose, they will not be completely helpless. After all, Manchester City were the league champions last season.
In short, Manchester City's performance will definitely be much better than Real Madrid.
So the result is out.
Now let’s talk about which two teams in Group G can qualify. Bayern Munich is still a check mark, but whether Real Madrid can appear has become a question mark. This is the entry point of Manchester City. In the hearts of many fans, Manchester City has become a Tied with Real Madrid as a 'possible qualifying' team.
This kind of rise in power status in the eyes of the media and fans is something to be happy about, but this is not because of how good Manchester City is, but because Real Madrid is too poor, and it is not something to be proud of. (To be continued ~^~)
